Briarling Grovekeeper - AI-generated fantasy Monster

Briarling Grovekeeper

Briarlings are said to have sprouted from the first forest that learned to defend itself. They are not fey, though many fey courts treat them as distant cousins. Each briarling carries a living thorn from its birth tree, and the death of that tree is considered a grave insult demanding swift revenge.

Forest Camouflage. The briarling has advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made in forests, jungles, or areas of dense undergrowth.
Underbrush Skulker. The briarling can attempt to hide even when only lightly obscured by foliage, natural debris, mist, or the shadow of a tree.
Rootstep. When the briarling is within 5 feet of a tree or large plant, it can take the Hide action as a bonus action.
Multiattack. The briarling makes two attacks, using Thornknife or Briar Sling in any combination.
Thornknife. Melee Weapon Attack: to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 () piercing damage plus 2 () poison damage.
Briar Sling. Ranged Weapon Attack: to hit, range 60/180 ft., one target. Hit: 6 () piercing damage. If the target is within 30 feet, thorny vines briefly cling to it, reducing its speed by 10 feet until the start of the briarling's next turn.
Snaring Vines. The briarling targets one creature it can see within 30 feet. The target must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be pulled up to 10 feet toward an unoccupied space adjacent to a tree, bush, or patch of undergrowth. The target is not restrained, but its movement becomes difficult terrain until the end of its next turn.
Defensive Thorn. When a creature the briarling can see within 5 feet is hit by an attack, the briarling lashes out with a sudden thorn. The attacker takes 2 () piercing damage.
